I had many of you asking for the ways to make cosmic buddy theme work with the group blog. So, here is “CB Group Blog” a child theme of cosmic buddy to use with the group blogs.
What It Is:-
This is a theme which should be used with Group Blog Plugin.
How to Use:-
- Download the theme from here http://buddydev.com/http//buddydev.com/public-download/cb-groupblog.zip
- Upload it to wp-content/themes
- Login to wordpress dashboard and make the theme visible from Site Admin->Themes
- Now go to Buddypress->Group Blog setup
- Select CB Group Blog as shown below and save.
- That’s it. From the next time a group blog is created, this theme will be activated automatically, giving a seamless look for group and group blog.
The current theme is 2 columned, so I miss the area for widgets, if you think the same and want a 3 column theme which will allow you to add widgets, please do let me know in comments.
PS:
Also, I will like to clarify regarding the comments you all left last week. I am sorry for not being able to reply them in time, some personal problems caused me a lot of tiredness and was unable to reply the comments. From today onwards, I promise to reply in time.

Something is wrong here – if I click on a post in the groupblog the page shows up without any formatting. Doesn´t seem to finde the css file
I have cosmicbuddy in the buddybress/themes folder and CB Group blogs in the wp-content/themes folder – maybe that is wrong?
Got it to work – both themes have to be in the wpcontent/themes folder
How come when I change profile images, I get errors?
Hi Brajesh,
Just checking if you had a rough timeline for when you think your BP Ajax Chat plugin will be ready?
hi Paul
Thanks for the comment. I am sorry for the delayed chat. I had some issues in getting it work as I want it to, and then came the redesign of this site.
I will post tomorrow about the time I will be completing that, but I guess it will be anytime after 15th as I am planning to update this site by 15th first.
hello!
i have uploded the theme to the folder wp-content/themes, but have got a error “Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.”
((
How i can repair this problem?
Hi Irina,
you will need to have Cosmic Buddy theme installed in order to make it work. Do you have cosmic buddy in your wp-content/themes directory. This is a child theme, so if the parent theme is not present, you will get the above error.
Hope that helps.

hi Brajesh,
i’ve installed cosmic buddy + cb child theme + the group blog plugin.
i have many errors on my site:
If you use the main cosmic buddy theme
the blog posts don’t appear on its homepage
widgets appear on the blog
if I use the child group blog theme:
I get the issue that is mentioned above – being a member of other groups ruins the CSS somehow.
widgets don’t appear in the blog
If I use a non buddypress template, I can manage a blog, without having its posts appearing in other groups:
can add widgets
Posts appear on their blog and its homepage
This blog’s activity is not attached to the rest of the site (groups etc…)
